## Review summary

Reviews are mixed. The app can function as a convenient, easy-to-use TV remote for some users, with daily use reported. However, major drawbacks appear frequently: the app often fails to detect TVs (notably LG, Samsung, and Toshiba), buyers worry about subscription-heavy pricing and upsell tactics, and the startup UX jumps to subscription options. Users also want broader device support (Chromecast, Android TV, Samsung Smart TV). Whether it’s worth it depends on device compatibility and comfort with the pricing approach.

### Pros

- Functional, easy-to-use TV remote when it connects.
- Used daily by some users, indicating reliable remote control capability.
- Supports transferring pictures from phone to TV (feature mentioned by users).

### Cons

- TV detection issues across LG, Samsung, Toshiba, and other devices; the app often fails to recognize TVs.
- Pricing model with lifetime offer and subscription upsell; perceived as a scam or lack of value by some users.
- Startup flow redirects to subscription options, interrupting normal use.
- Requests for broader compatibility (Chromecast, Android TV, Samsung Smart TV) are not met.
